Wyatt and I went and played with the kids on base this morning. MR invited us to go on a ruck march with him & his team, so we headed out early with our backpacks, phone books & rocks. We did almost 4 miles on the trails hauling our packs. Mine was a little too heavy for me. I put in a granite rock, and it ended up weighing around 40 pounds. Next time, I'll use phone books or smaller rocks. I managed to do okay on the trails, but later that night, my knee was sore. After our packs were off and the kids were getting ready to go to work, we went for a quick run on the trails. Running seemed like a breeze without the extra weight!! It was 3 miles on some hilly trails, and we did pretty good. Lots of fun. Then I came home and decided it was finally time to watch Gone With the Wind. I watched it while I baked chocolate banana bread and a huge batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. It took me almost the whole 4 hours, but I finished both of them :-)
